"Relief No. 1 depicts the abstracted form of a woman standing with her wight on her left hip and her right knee jutting forward. Her head, undulation shoulders and breasts are implied by geometric cube forms. Moore addressed this intentional ambiguity of form when he said that the "non-logical, instinctive subconscious part of [the viewer's] mind must play a part" in completing and understanding his work. While most of Moore's sculptures was intended to be viewed against a wall."
